Subject: Get back to me asap.
FROM THE DESK OF THE MANAGER,
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT,
ECO BANK,16 RUE DE COMMERCE,
LOME-TOGO.
Good day,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance Department of ECO BANK , LOME-TOGO. I am writing following the information about you through Internet website and wish you are capable and reliable to champion this business opportunity.In my department, i discovered an abandoned sum of US$10.5m USD.,(Ten million,five hundred thousand US dollars). in an alloted vault in the bank that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in may 1999 in a plane crash in kenya.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next-of-kin or relation died along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and release the fund to you as the next-of-kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement, since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
Because the banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money/deposit remained unclamed after six years,it will be transfered into the bank's treasury as unclaimed fund.The request for a foreigner as next-of-kin in this business is because the customer is a foreigner and a Togolaise can not stand as next-of-kin to a foreigner.
Note that the modalities of this transaction is subject to negotiation between you and me and i have decided to give to you 30% of the total sum while 65% for me and 5% for any expenses we may incure during the cost of the transfer.i agree giving you this percentage, for wishing to help me finalize this transaction. Thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next-of-kin of the deceased.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application you will transcribe as your order and fax it to the bank. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is risk free as everything will be done legally.You should contact me through this my private email address;Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Charles Kodjo .
